"Lux Drywall is the best!!! Brett did a great job on my drywall. I had six or so, holes in my ceiling from putting in recessed lighting. He was very neat & clean with drywall dust and you can’t even tell there was a hole. Thanks, Tim"

"Tom was great. As his job proceeded there were plumbing problems, but he worked around the plumbers. His price is fair, he was dependable, clean, and respectful of my house. I have another drywall project and I plan on hiring Tom again."

"I hired PV Painting to paint and do some drywall repair on the interior walls of my home. Petar, the owner, did an outstanding job. He arrived on time every day. He took great care of my home. He covered my furniture and floors before starting work. He used good paint products. He cleaned up at the end of every day. He left matching paint for us; a very nice touch. Petar's skills in painting and drywall are exceptional. I could easily see Petar takes great pride in his work. He was friendly and professional in all my dealings. I did end up adding more work to my project while he was here and he graciously accommodated me. I really appreciated that. I would not hesitate to hire him again!"

"I had the absolute best experience choosing JRC Improvement for a complete living room ceiling takedown and install. Any drywall work is always messy, however, Jason sealed off my living room so well, it truly contained the expected dust. Jason was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. After completing the entire ceiling, he primed, and painted beautifully. The craftsmanship and attention to detail he used, led to the entire project exceeding expectations. My ceiling is flawless, and he also installed a brand new fan. Extremely easy to work with, Jason, restored my faith in contractors. I would without hesitation, recommend Jason, and JRC Improvement for any home project!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Fixing ceiling nail pops involves similar steps to wall repair, with the major difference being the orientation of the work. Ceiling nail pops can be more challenging because you may need to work overhead, which can be physically demanding and require additional safety precautions. Additionally, the ceiling may have different materials or finishes, such as textured surfaces, which can affect the repair process. Otherwise, the fundamental steps are the same.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
